♪ it is friday, september 18th, 2015. welcome to "cbs this morning." more real news ahead, including senator bernie sanders here in studio 57. we asked the presidential contender how he plans to take down the establishment candidate. but, first, here is a look at today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >>thhen at questioner at his town hall called the president a muslim and a foreigner, trump did nothing to correct hawaii im president obama has signed an agreement with a country that says that to america. >> ho >> it will explain if military charges could send

8:02 am
it happened at a town hall meeting last night in new hampshire. trump failed to correct a man who said president obama is a muslim and, quote, not even an american. >> the problem in this country, it's called muslims. we know our current president is one. you know he is not even an american. >> we need this question, this first question -- >> but any way! we have training camps rolling where they want to kill us. that's my question. when can we get rid of them? >> we are going to be looking at a lot of different things and a lot of people are saying that and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. we are going to be looking at that and plenty other things. >> the trump campaign responded to criticism with this statement from the candidate. quote, the media wants to make this issue about obama. the bigger issue is that obama is waging a war against christians in this country. their religious liberty is at stake. republican candidate chris christie was asked about the trump supporter this morning.
8:03 am
christie said i wouldn't have permitted that and democratic candidate hillary clinton tweeted that trump's inaction was disturbing and just plain wrong. >> hillary clinton's main democratic rival in the presidential race is currently bernie sanders. he is with us this morning. sanders is ahead of clinton in iowa and new hampshire. the vermont senator calls himself a democratic socialist. thousands attend his rallies and his platform calls for ending income inequality. he sees answers in universal health care and paid family leave. he is the cover of this week's "time" magazine and pleased to have him here in studio 57. welcome. you're doing something right obviously. >> yeah. >> people talk about socialists and democratic socialists. for you, what does it mean? >> what it means is we should take a hard look at countries like denmark, norway, finland, other countries around the world which achieved some middle gains
8:04 am
for the middle class and working families of these countries. we are the only major country on earth that doesn't guarantee health care to all of our people. the only other major country that doesn't have sick time to our workers and family medical leave and paid vacation time. many countries around the world make sure their young people can get free public college and free tuition at public colleges and universities. we have far more income and wealth disparity that most major countries on earth. what we have seen in recent years, proliferation of millionaires and billionaires, we continue to have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country on earth. these are some of the areas that i think we have got to focus on. >> does it mean a lot more involvement of the government in our lives? >> what it does mean is that we are going to ask the wealthiest people in this country doing well and large corporations making billions of dollars in profits and not paying a nickel in taxes to start paying their fair share of taxes so we do not continue to see the
8:05 am
disappearance of the middle class, do not continue to see 45 million people living in poverty and bring us a little bit more equality in the country than we kurmt ha currently have. >> would that mean taxing the wealthiest americans at 90%? >> i don't think you have to go up to 90% but you can remember that on the people like dwight david eisenhower, under him, we had taxes far more progressive than it was today. >> which was around 90%. >> we will come up with some very specific ideas. >> how can do you that? you're promising free health care for everybody, college for everybody, paid leave and you haven't yet said how you're going to pay for it and suggested you would tax the wealthiest americans at a rate of about 90%. >> i did not suggest that. >> what would you tax the wealthiest americans? how would you pay for this plan? >> this is what we would do on. if you want tuition-free public colleges and universities, which i believe we will have a tax on wall street speculation, which
8:06 am
will more than pay for that. we will end the fact that profitable corporations, in some cases, in america today, pays zero in federal taxes because they stash their money in the cayman islands and bermuda. >> you want to raise the corporate taxes? >> yes. >> how much would you raise the corporate tax? >> you're seeing estimates and people see the estimates "wall street journal" is -- >> the "wall street journal" what they said and we responded to it, that included 15 billion dollars for national health care program. what they forgot to say is that you would not be paying and businesses would not be paying for private health insurance. so, in other words, right now if you're paying $12,000 a year for blue cross/blue shield would you not pay that. every study in the case we would lower that goal. >> you're calling for a single payer health care system but your home state of vermont tried that in 2011 and the democratic
8:07 am
governor said we can't afford it and rolled it back. your own state can't carry that. how is america? >> every other country in the world does it. >> how did vermont figure it out? >> i'm not the governor of the state of vermont but you can ask the conservative of -- you can ask every other major country on earth how they guarantee health care to all of their people with far per cost per capita in the united states. you can ask how it is that we pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs 1 out of 5 americans can't afford the cost of prescription drugs in this country and fill the prescription. >> there is no disputing what you're talking about. i think what your own democratic governor and you're running as a democrat encountered in vermont is that while it was an ideal to give everyone health care for all, the ability for actually paying for it became the real problem and he didn't want to bust the budget in vermont. >> what we are talking about --
8:08 am
number one, let's be clear. we spend far more per cap to on health care than any other country. 30% have zero health insurance and millions more are underinsured. no one debates that fact. how can you create universal health care for every man, woman and child and do it in an effective way? other countries do it. the united states of america can do it. i know the private insurance companies don't like this idea. we will put them out of business and the drug companies that are ripping off the american people and charging us the highest prices in the world don't like the idea. tough luck. >> two things. one, is it time to sort of lay out the specifics that you have in terms of spending priorities, as well as tax reform. >> sure. >> in terms of what level you'll be taxing and what the recommendations you'll recommend will be eliminated and all of that? >> the answer is yes. we have been in this campaign four and a half months and i haven't been able -- we have more information out there, more specifics than i think most other candidates. >> we have been talking so much about money. let's talk about your recent
8:09 am
fund-raising. so many people come forward with tiny donation. what is it appealing to the small like $31 is the average? >> $31.21 but who is counting? >> these small donations are very different from the front-runner which is hillary clinton. >> well, look. i have said -- we don't have a superpac. i don't want one. i don't represent the corporate agenda and i don't represent billionaires. i don't want their money. but what we are trying to do is to see whether millions of people are prepared to make modest contributions, $31 to say that you know what? maybe we will create a government that works for ordinary americans and not just for the wealthiest people in this country who, today, clearly dom what goes on in congress. we have a campaign finance system through citizens united which is corrupt and it's undermining-- >> supreme court decision? >> yes. 5-4 decision said that billionaires like the koch
8:10 am
brothers can buy the united states government and i want to overturn that and be dependent on small contributors. >> how do you defeat hillary clinton on march 1st super tuesday and some of those southern states? you have a plan to do that. how do you plan to do it? >> we do. again, only in this campaign in this four and a half months and initial put a lot of our resources into new hampshire and iowa and south carolina we are doing more. we think on super tuesday a lot of states out there we have a very good chance to win and we have enough money to put together a strong grassroots organization. we are going to, obviously, be doing tv and radio but we are also going to be having a whole lot of folks knocking on doors one-to-one, talking to people about who i am and what our program is. i think our program about raising the minimum wage to 15 bucks an hour, about creating millions of jobs and rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, dealing with climate change in a significant way will resonate with people all over this country. >> we are pleased to have you back to talk about that.

we would end up here. >> reporter: the food may be fast, but the company's growth is purpose entry so. in-n-out can be found in a few dozen counties in six states and each must be within miles of their distribution centers where their burger patties is made because at in-n-out, nothing is frozen or microwaved. store managers can make six figures. that could explain the service with an actual smile. i can tell you're excited about this. you really like this? >> oh, definitely! i love it! >> reporter: doing things their own way is why in-n-out has repeatedly turned down wall street. unlike its competitors which have raised hundreds of millions of dollars by going public. >> what can i get you today, sir? >> reporter: in-n-out is now estimated at an $1 billion but along with success there has also been tragedy. >> the flame hit the ground.

spacecraft's closest approach to the dwarfed planet. it shows thick mountains and thick haze floating through the sky. we want to bring you more of our conversation this morning with presidential candidate bernie sanders. during a commercial break, we asked about republican front-runner donald trump, not correcting a supporter who called president obama a muslim who is, quote, not even an american. >> i think it's a disgrace to, again, question whether or not the president of the united states was born in this country or whether he is a christian is, i thought we were beyond that. it's an outrage. >> you saw how senator mccain acted much differently when he was asked a similar question years ago. >> right. and to continue this mythology and this ugliness to suggest that the president of the united states was not born an american, we all remember trump was one of the leaders of this effort a year ago. i thought maybe he had learned something from that.
8:32 am
this is not what american politics should be -- >> the other interesting thing about this is whether there is this mood in the country of which you're getting support from and he is also getting support from for very different reasons, but also for one principle reason that there is a feeling in america that something is dramatically wrong. >> something is dramatically wrong when the rich get richer and everybody else gets poorer, but that has nothing to do with whether or not president obama was born in america or whether he is a christian. >> and what about trump on immigration? >> well, i think he is dead wrong. i think clearly what we need is comprehensive immigration reform and we need a path towards citizenship for the 11 million people who are undocumented. >> it's interesting to see bernie sanders react in that way. >> indeed. >> i think there is universal criticism of that, even from republicans this morning. >> i look forward to him laying out his plan, as we talked about in the primary interview, in
